Thermal Temperature Screening, Disinfecting Robots
And Social Distancing App
Jupiter Medical Center is the only hospital in the
region using care.ai facial scanning systems to conduct
TM
thermal temperature screening at facility entry points. The
sensors check the body temperature of anyone entering the
hospital, including patients, vendors, physicians and all
team members. The sensors are positioned at each entrance
to identify anyone with a fever, accurately and with no
contact between patients and staff.
To disinfect patient rooms and procedure areas, Jupiter
Medical Center is the only medical center in Palm Beach
County and the Treasure Coast to have fully deployed
Tru-D SmartUVC ultraviolet disinfection robots, which
use UVC light technology to eliminate viruses and other
pathogens on surfaces. The robots disinfect patient and
procedural rooms, augmenting the frequent and rigorous
cleaning and disinfection protocols being performed by
environmental service teams.
A third safety enhancement is an easy-to-use mobile
app, PatientTrak, that enhances social distancing in
waiting rooms. The app allows patients to see real-time
wait times, check in and manage appointments from their
mobile phone. PatientTrak allows the provider to send a
text message notification to patients when their physician
